[pygtk] installing pygtk on cygwin

Mon Sep 22 23:19:18 WST 2008

Okay, so after running after a cygcheck, I get the following results:

cygcheck /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gtk -2.0/gobject_gobject .dll

C:\cygwin/lib\python2.5/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gobject/_gobject.dll
C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ADVAPI32.DLL
C:\WINDOWS\system32\KERNEL32.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\RPCRT4.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Secur32.dll
C:\cygwin\bin\cygglib-2.0-0.dll
C:\cygwin\bin\cygiconv-2.dll
C:\cygwin\bin\cygintl-3.dll
C:\cygwin\bin\cyggobject-2.0-0.dll
C:\cygwin\bin\cyggthread-2.0-0.dll
C:\cygwin\bin\libpython2.5.dll

So it seems that the difference between your structure and this one is that  
cyggobject-2.0-0.dll, cyggthread-2.0-0.dll, and cygglib-2.0-0.dll are not  
in /usr/local/bin.

By the way, where did you obtain the source packages for building pygtk and  
its dependencies? I think I might do that if it does not further complicate  
the situation.

Thanks for everything,
Patty

location shown by cygcheck, and 2) that you don't have a second copy of any  
of these DLLs. For example, you should have one and only one file called  
cygglib-2.0-0.dll on your system.
